Exercise 5

It is well-known that relationships between children and their parents fundamentally affect adult behaviour. But now their importance is being challenged as new research shows that a child’s relationship with its siblings may have a more important effect. Psychologist Francine Klagsbrun says ‘Our relationship with our siblings is unmatchable. We have them whether we like them or not. As parents die, friends drift away, marriages dissolve, that relationship continues and the memories of a life shared with them remain with us long after childhood has ended.’
